Q: Last time I went to a Yankee game I noticed a little bit of track that looks like it\u2019s headed into right field. What\u2019s that about? <\/b>\u2014 Jessica M., West Village<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
A: That structure is the last remaining piece of a long-vanished elevated train that once ran from the Bronx to the southern tip of Manhattan, called the IRT Ninth Avenue El.\u00a0 South of 155 St, it closed in 1940, but that little stub by Yankee Stadium \u2014 rechristened the 155th\u00a0St.-167th\u00a0St. Shuttle \u2014 remained for another 18 years because it connected the Polo Grounds at 155 St to the 4 train at 167 St.\u00a0The New York Giants baseball team, whose home park was the Polo Grounds, moved to San Francisco after the 1957 season, taking away the remaining ridership on the stub.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the new stadium was built in 2009, it obliterated 162 St, which originally served as the right-of-way for this structure. It remains in place because it\u2019s needed for the structural integrity of the tracks above it. That\u2019s why it looks like it\u2019s headed into right field. But don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s no way trains can be misrouted. \u2014 Andrew J.
